Why does my Dish Network Tailgater say programming not authorized?
- T
  Thomas PerrySep 23, 2025
  If you're getting a 'Programming Not Authorized' error (005/013/014) on your Dish Network Antenna, you might not be subscribed to the channels you're trying to view, or your receiver hasn't been connected to a signal for a while. First, confirm your subscription status at dish.com/mychannels. Then, unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on. You can also call 800-333-DISH (3474), select TECH, and enter the error number when prompted to send an activation command to your receiver.

  If your Dish Network Satellite TV System displays 'No Satellites Found - 151', it's likely due to obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky, such as tree branches or heavy rain, or a poorly connected coax cable. To resolve this: * Ensure the Tailgater has a clear view of the southern sky. * Check and tighten the coax cable connecting the receiver and Tailgater. * Unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on.

  If your Dish Network Satellite TV System is showing partial signal loss (error 002), it's likely due to obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky, such as tree branches or severe rain. To fix this: * Ensure the Tailgater has a clear view of the southern sky. * Check that the coax cable is properly connected and hand-tightened. * Try changing channels to see if live video is available on other channels. * Unplug the receiver for 10 seconds, then plug it back in and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on.

  If your Dish Network Satellite TV System displays 'All Satellites Not Found - 150', it's generally caused by obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky or being outside the orbital slot's footprint. Try these steps: * Ensure the Tailgater has a clear view of the southern sky. * Unplug the receiver for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, allowing up to 5 minutes to power back on.

  If guide information isn't available on your Dish Network Antenna, your receiver may not have been powered off at night to receive the updates, or it hasn't acquired the necessary signal. Unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on. Also, on the Portable Antenna Setup Screen, verify the correct state is selected, highlight "Scan" and press SELECT.

What causes 'All Satellites Not Found' on a Dish Network Antenna?
- W
  Wanda FoxSep 15, 2025
  If your Dish Network Tailgater cannot find all satellites (error 150), this may be caused by obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky, such as tree branches or heavy rain. It's also possible that your physical location is outside the footprint of the desired orbital slot. Ensure there are no obstructions. Unplug the power cord of your receiver for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for your receiver to power back on.

The electronic program guide may not be set to “My Channels,” or you might not have the necessary orbital slots for the missing programming. Here's how to troubleshoot: * Press the GUIDE button twice and select “My Channels”. * Verify your subscription for the missing channel at dish.com/mychannels. * Perform a check switch test by pressing MENU, then 6-1-1, and selecting “Scan”.

How do I fix missing over-the-air antenna channels on my Dish Network?
- L
  Lisa EricksonSep 4, 2025
  If you're missing over-the-air antenna channels (Error 739) on your Dish Network, the reception quality and available channels depend on the Tailgater's placement, your location, and weather conditions. Ensure the wiring between your DISH receiver and the over-the-air antenna is correctly configured. Unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on. Re-scan over-the-air antenna channels by pressing MENU then 6-8 to access the local channels screen, and select "Scan Locals."
